If you really believe that youre making a difference and that you can leave a legacy of better schools and jobs and safer streets, why would you not spend the money? The objective is to improve the schools, bring down crime, build affordable housing, clean the streets – not to have a fair fight. – Michael Bloomberg
You have to take away some of tax breaks for the wealthy, and you have to cut back on some entitlements. Because, unless we do all of these things, it just doesnt work. And whats good theater and whats good politics isnt necessarily good economic policy. – Michael Bloomberg
